We're both wrong. Both the swastika and the symbol for Buddhism can be tilted or straight...

Just check Google Image Search.

the swastika sure was/is a sysmbol for/of facism. the orginal swastika is the other way round. the nazis just turned t around and used it as "anti-jewish" symbol. the orgina lswastika is a symbol for "protection". now no more swastikas please.

You guys are blowing this so out of proportion it's not even funny. Did anyone care to think that I really didn't wanna be assed to take and upload another screenshot? Jesus christ...it's not like I'm on here screaming "Heil Hitler!". It's a swastika, on an image that ISN'T EVEN TAKEN BY ME. Everyone needs to just shut the hell up about this.

Its not a Buddist sign flipped around and turned, its a Jewish sign. :)

If you're too lazy to even take a screenshot of your own desktop, why bother even posting? Should we all start grabbing other people's screenshots and posting them up on Neowin? You knew that swastika would offend people, yet you posted it anyway. I don't understand your logic behind your excuses.

Lets be evenhanded here, you may comment on the swastica symbol as it indeed represents inhuman suffering and gross injustices.

But what about the many desktops I see here with Sovjet symbols? I just started reading Anne Appelbaum's new book Gulag.

Communism in the 20th century killed more them 60 million innocent people. As a history teacher I of course I already knew this. Still I am shocked at what I am reading. Since this however took took place in Eastern Europe and Asia it is viewed as more benign that the Nazi crimes.

So, *if* you want to ban Nazi images then be consistent and ban any Soviet images also! :angry:
